  • Patent number: 9249686
    Abstract: A housing for a turbomachine includes a peripheral wall delimiting an annular space and a fluid conveying system for redirecting a partial flow of a main flow, which has an axial channel, a front annular channel and a rear annular channel in fluid connection with the axial channel and having a front annular space opening and a rear annular space opening. The fluid conveying system has a front valve device and a rear valve device controllable independently of the front valve device, for opening and closing the annular space openings, and an outlet opening for tapping the partial flow from the fluid conveying system. In the closed state of the rear annular space opening, the partial flow is directable through the rear annular channel and, in the closed state of the front annular space opening, the partial flow is directable through the front annular channel.
